I have had this annoying problem for quite a while and haven't been able to find a solution. I have two computers running BF2 through a DLink router and RoadRunner cable modem. EVERY time I Refresh or Update Server List in the browser, it eats up every bit of bandwidth on my internet connection. I am connected to IRC and MSN Messenger. EAch time I launch the game and refresh the list, but IRC and Messenger log off (I can hear the IRC disconnect and reconnect EVERY time, the MSN shows up disconnected after I finish playing). Often times I can't even stay logged on to GameSpy... the refresh gets to about 80% and I am informated that I've lost connection with the Game Spy server. This happens when I'm playing alone and is even worse when my wife is playing. If we are both trying to refresh the server list at the same time, we'll both get disconnected from GameSpy and only get about 600 servers instead of the normal 1300-1400 that the usually get. I have tried all the various network speed settings but nothing help.
Anyone else have this problem or have a solution/suggestion? Thanks in advance!
